Chapter 189 We are finally home

"Are we transferred from one prison to another?"

As soon as Li Mumu jumped out of the car, she heard Winsty complaining below.

It's back again.

Looking at the familiar buildings around her, she felt like she was in another world.

It truly felt like a world away (literally).

The last time I came here was the last time.

It completely overlapped with the scene in her memory. She could even smell the familiar smell of disinfectant in the nearby hospital building, and clearly remembered which bed contained the seriously injured patient. There is also the steam rising at the entrance of the canteen, which is mixed with the smell of various breakfasts, which makes people appetite.

It seemed like he had just left not long ago.

She did not know the final outcome of the Olympus, because she and Winsty had been sent back to the present world before that.

Under the escort of warships, the Huanyu arrived at Edo Port safely - the passengers on the ship were quarantined on the pretext of an infectious disease outbreak, and it took nearly a month to resume the voyage.

The food standard in Edo is really not that good. They don’t even prepare pork cutlet rice. Three meals a day are miso soup... Oh no, miso soup, pickled daikon root and white rice.

Li Mumu was very depressed after eating.

Eating rice may seem luxurious to some people, but in this era of prosperous Pacific Rim trade, rice was actually not expensive at all. Even decades ago, there was a joke about a certain federal aristocrat hoarding low-priced rice until he went bankrupt.

Thanks to the boom in international trade, rice prices in Tianmen City are even cheaper than local sorghum and millet.

Of course, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can eat Edo’s local specialty raw fish sashimi dishes.

Li Mumu was afraid of parasites and did not dare to try. Winsty was very interested and was severely stopped by her.

In the end, the two of them sneaked out and bought several wagashi at a shop at the port.

The pronunciation of Edo's confectionery and Tianmen's confectionery are different, but they generally refer to the same meaning, which is snacks.

The more famous ones are pancakes and yokan.

But Edo’s pancakes and Tianmen’s pancakes are not the same species. Edo pancakes are more similar to biscuits.

The quarantine period was finally over, and we got on the boat and arrived at Tianmen. Most of the passengers received entry permission and were free to leave, but a small group of passengers, including Li Mumu's family, were surrounded by soldiers with live ammunition and escorted directly to the Secret Service.

Along the way, everyone felt uneasy and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Only Li Mumu was in a cheerful mood.

I have money up there!

I just don’t know how many people in the Secret Service have retained their memories before time and space went back.

After getting off the car, when no one was paying attention, she took the opportunity to grab a man in gray military uniform and whispered: "Brother, can you help me contact Gu Yuzhi from the General Affairs Department, Sister Gu? I want to meet her."

In fact, Li Mumu was more familiar with the doctor who took her to suture the wound, but he was so busy at the time that he didn't even bother to ask his name, and he was wearing a mask, so he didn't see clearly what he looked like.

But judging from the way the other party gave orders, he must be at least a director-level boss. Li Mumu could find the person just by listening to his voice.

The gray uniform hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.

The group was escorted into the guest house inside the Secret Service.

…………

Mu Yuming walked into the office and saw a young man wearing a military coat and glasses sitting behind the desk, lowering his head and reading the files in his hand. His eyes swept past the blue Panlong jade pendant on the table without leaving any trace.

"sit."

Qiao Hongyi raised his hand to signal.

When Mu Yuming sat down, he directly pushed the jade pendant at hand over.

"Mr. Mu Yuming, please introduce yourself. I am Qiao Hongyi, chief of the Intelligence Section of the Tianmen City Secret Service Bureau, and... the person in charge of receiving the files of the former Jinyi secret guards."

"You should know that after the former emperor abdicated, there was a peaceful transition to the new government. After the Jinyiwei Yamen was abolished, the original archives were not destroyed, but were transferred to several other relevant departments. Among them, the Jinyi Secret Guards, especially The personnel files of the group of secret guards sent abroad were received by our Secret Service. In other words, I am now your direct leader."

Mu Yuming said helplessly: "The imperial court is gone, why are you telling me these things. Those are all things of my father's generation. He never told me anything. I don't know anything."

Qiao Hongyi ignored his excuses and said directly: "The sun, moon and stars are turning around."

"Cold comes and summer comes, and the world is deserted."

After saying this, Mu Yuming's whole demeanor suddenly changed, and his eyes hidden under the gold-rimmed glasses became as sharp as a knife.

Token, correct.

Code word, correct.

Qiao Hongyi stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Welcome home, Comrade Jiansui."

The two held their hands together and then took them back.

"We didn't have the term "homosexual" at that time. Just call me by my real name.

Mu Yuming took off his gold-rimmed glasses, folded them and put them in his breast pocket, and looked at Qiao Hongyi solemnly: "What do you need from me?"

Qiao Hongyi nodded and said: "First report to me your true intention of coming back this time. According to the original plan, you should continue to lurk overseas for a long time. Why did you suddenly change your mind and return to China?"

Mu Yuming smiled and said, "You may not believe it when I tell you. I was commissioned by Mr. Huang, the 13th chairman of the board of directors of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, to return to China as a commercial spy to spy on domestic intelligence."

"Master Huang? Huang Shisan?"

Qiao Hongyi frowned and said, "Why would she notice you?"

Mu Yuming shrugged and said: "A distant branch of Prince Mu, a remnant of the previous dynasty, middle class, with a family and business, an honest character, weak and easy to bully - isn't this kind of personality the easiest to notice, the easiest to manipulate, and the easiest to manipulate?" Are you training to be a spy?"

It does make sense.

Qiao Hongyi no longer struggled with this issue and continued to ask: "What kind of information does she want you to spy on?"

"It's mainly about various policies implemented by the new government and the specific implementation progress."

Mu Yuming said seriously: "The situation abroad has been very unstable in recent years. In North America alone, it has experienced three large-scale time and space turbulences, and the historical line is in a mess. In addition to the anchorage of the overseas Hades in Seif City, the situation is still Apart from being a little better, the rest of the place is basically a literal hell on earth.”

"You can cross the river by feeling the stones, but the Sihai Chamber of Commerce can only cross the river by feeling the stones. It's ridiculous, but many people have already realized the seriousness of the problem. When I came back this time, many people openly or covertly They forced me, both soft and hard, to get information for them."

"I could have at least four paychecks if I wanted to."

"besides……"

Mu Yuming raised his head and glanced at Qiao Hongyi, and said meaningfully: "Sir Qiao, you are a bit too careless. Before talking to me, you should identify me first to determine whether I am myself or not. My thoughts and words. Maybe I have sincerely surrendered to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, and what I said just now is to win your trust?"
